I wake up between 4-5AM every single day of the week, and all year long. I don't even need an alarm clock. I can go to sleep at anytime
- No screen before bed. No computer, no phone, no tablet, no TV (we don't own a TV, so we don't have much choice here ;). What do I do instead? I read a book, journal, write, chat with my spouse or friends, play chess or board games,... I do various stuff just not on a screen. Not even using a Kindle.
- No coffee in the evening. No alcohol at all (evening as well as in the day: I was an alcoholic many, many years ago). No soda either. Either I'll drink water or herbal tea.
- Light & healthy diner. I don't stuff my stomach, don't eat garbage pre-packaged industrial 'food' either (this alone was a huge change for me, the day I quit eating that absolute turd a few years ago and my health has jumped through the roof, pre-packaged food is just poison in a fancy packaging and a lot of marketing, I would not be surprise if it was to become the tobacco of the XXI health-wise).
- No snacking, no candy, chips, or whatever.
- At least one long walk during the day. Every day.
My wife has to eat a snack with her medicine she takes before bed or she gets nauseas. I have struggled to find an alternative to goldfish because I agree, it's garbage. Any thoughts?

What is a goldfish (beside a fish, I mean)? If you mean an alternative to snack, has she tried fresh fruits (an apple, pear, a few grapes,...) or maybe things like nuts? The idea being to no eat heavily processed food at all and not too much of anything. If she is not into fresh fruits (that would be sad), at worst I would suggest a slice of fresh bread (here again not the industrial hyper-processed kind of bread, real bread) with something, maybe a little jam?
I believe they are referring to the snack that smiles back.
Oh, thx a lot!
I must admit I don't know much about those kind of snacks but I would be surprised a doctor would suggest to eat those with any kind of medication.
Yes, bread might not be a bad idea. Or an English muffin or something. Fruit is high on glucose and doesn't sit well right before bed. Longer digestive carbs seem to help more. I was thinking maybe rice cakes too.
I've had great luck with rice cakes, unsalted pretzels, or natural peanut butter on toasted bread of some sort.
